Can't export to PDF after v18 update

Question

Hi

I've spent the last few days editing a 12 page booklet in verison 17 of InDesign.

It's comprised of text, objects, images. What you'd expect.

The file is about 19MB.

Over the last few days I've exported it to PDF without issue to test the look of the final product.

Today, I updated my version of InDesign to v18 and was forced to convert the file to suit the new version.

Now the file refuses to export no mater what I try.

I've attached a screenshot of the export error, which tells me nothing.

I was unable to find anything via Google that matches my issue.

This is a marketing document that we're trying to get out ASAP for our business.

I'd be grateful for some assistance, please.

Thank you

Gordon

Morning All

Thank you all for your input and suggestions.

Success!

The thread from Vivek12 had a suggestion for troubleshooting.

They suggested the file had a corruption and to test via exporting one page at a time.

This lead me to discover the failure was on page 11 and subsequently a picture within that page.

I replaced the picture and it's now working fine.

Thanks again
